Recent thirds have come on good and soft ground and previous two efforts on faster surfaces weren't great; respected otherwise as she's only 3lb higher than for last year's Windsor win (1m, heavy). |

Running fairly well on the AW when last seen but in only 0-50 company and he is a highly infrequent winner; no more than each-way claims. |

Strike-rate of 3-61 so thoroughly exposed but latest third in 1m Lingfield classified event is reasonable form for the level; each-way shout assuming a wide stall isn't too troublesome. |

15th Oct 2024 Heavy 1m 0f 53y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Three wins this year (two on soft), the latest when edging out Astronomica at Nottingham in June; now needs to bounce back from quieter runs, latterly in the Bath race dominated by two of today's rivals. |

1st Oct 2024 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Three wins this year including two over C&D (soft) in the spring; fast ground was against her at Doncaster last time and has been off for 68 days since, but she has won fresh; still on a career-high mark, but the return to a soft surface would be a plus. |
6/1 |

25th Jul 2024 Good 0m 7f 213y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Kicked off campaign with two wins at Bath (1m, soft) before a good second there (1m, good), and she returned to winning ways at Nottingham (1m, good to soft); it's unlikely she's going to be on slow ground today, which dents confidence somewhat, but this thriving mare is still respected. |

14-race maiden; bits of form that bring her into the reckoning, including a close fifth of 15 over C&D in November; well behind Reverberation over 1m2f here last time. |

Sole win was in May 2021 and he's a frequent slow starter; has dropped a long way in the weights but has mixed record under both codes since October and he's been well held (1m4f/1m2f) in last two runs; has plenty to prove now upped to 1m6f and others are preferred. |

20th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Runner-up twice at Chepstow this season (1m, good/good to firm) but is far too inconsistent to rely upon, and his recent efforts have been very disappointing; swaps usual blinkers for refitted cheekpieces. |

9th 10 (1) |
30th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Very hit-and-miss these days and his second of 13 at Chepstow (good to firm) in July hasn't been reproduced in six subsequent starts; 1lb out of the weights and others look a lot safer. |
33/1 |

25th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 14y Class 2 |

Usually leads and has the option of going up the far side from stall 1; hit-and-miss these days, for a trainer also responsible for Romanovich (a fellow front-runner drawn on the opposite wing) but is capable off a feather weight if tactics decide the day. |
